President also regrets picking Merrick Garland for attorney general, as he was slow to prosecute Trump for January 6

Joe Biden regrets having pulled out of this year’s presidential race and believes he would have defeated Donald Trump in last month’s election – despite negative poll indications, White House sources have said.

The US president has reportedly also said he made a mistake in choosing Merrick Garland as attorney general – reflecting that Garland, a former US appeals court judge, was slow to prosecute Donald Trump for his role in the 6 January 2021 insurrection while presiding over a justice department that aggressively prosecuted Biden’s son Hunter.

Harris’s ascent to the top of the ticket led to a surge of enthusiasm and improved poll numbers but ultimately ended in a decisive electoral college and popular vote defeat.

      pushing and advocating for living wages that all states have to follow would help and the DNC quit advocating on this

      not every business Walmart and Mcdonald’s included are paying $19 an hour everywhere and in the south people are still making less than $15 an hour even with construction jobs pay is abominably low

      not all those jobs will include living wages with worker rights included

      Democrats always have a scapegoat

      again that amounts to nothing especially considering how much damage him and the Democrats have caused and continue to do so

      Biden helped craft laws that put a lot people in jail that either should not have been or should not have been as long of a sentence which to me amounts to rigging the election by keeping people jailed

      Trump is just another puppet like Biden is

      So we should be kicking other Democrats out of office too? Sure I’m good with that. There’s absolutely things they can do. They just refuse to move without the approval of the Republicans. For example HUD has an authority to literally build housing. FEMA can buy containerized housing and deploy that.

      Labor costs didn’t sky rocket. That’s corporate propaganda. They got caught telling their shareholders they didn’t actually have cost push inflation, they were just raising prices. If labor costs had skyrocketed then maybe workers could still afford cereal and milk. Also, we know you can pay 20 an hour and not significantly raise prices, we saw this in pre-pandemic California.

      Honestly your comment reads like you get your news from the opinion section of the Wall Street Journal.
